Corridor Hikes |

Rim to River Actually, rim to river to rim, unless you hire a helicopter or mule to get back out. We recommend this or the following hike for a first-time Grand Canyon experience. On this one you don't have to catch a ride 100 miles to pick up your vehicles. Use Bright Angel Trail , the South Kaibab Trail, or a combination of both. If you want to experience both, go down the shorter but steeper Kaibab and up the longer but more gradual Bright Angel. Camping (by permit only) is available at Phantom Ranch and Indian Gardens.
Rim to Rim A minimum of three days is recommended for this hike. From the South Rim take either Bright Angel Trail or the South Kaibab Trail to the River, then take the North Kaibab Trail up along Bright Angel Creek to the North Rim. The route may be done in reverse as well. Using the Bright Angel Trail the total distance is 23.5 miles, compared to 20.3 miles via the South Kaibab Trail. There are only three campgrounds along this route and camping elsewhere is prohibited. Reservations must be made well in advance. Rim to Rim to Rim This hike is 40.6 to 47 miles depending on route choices and should not be attempted in less than four days. Use any combination of corridor trails (South Kaibab, Bright Angel, and North Kaibab Trails). The entire trip is to be completed in one outing but is not a marathon; allow plenty of time. |
